This pintxos tour in San Sebastian immerses you in the city’s food culture through a guided walk in the Old Town. Led by a local guide, the experience includes eight pintxos* ranging from classic signature creations to contemporary bites, all made with seasonal products. Each tasting is paired with five drinks: three wines from different Spanish Denominations of Origin, Basque cider, and a traditional local liqueur (non-alcoholic options available).
Between stops, the tour reveals historic squares, centuries-old churches, and lively streets shaped by everyday local life, enriched with stories, anecdotes, and practical tips to continue exploring independently. Designed for small groups the experience combines the best of a gastronomic tour with the informal, social spirit of pintxos culture. It captures why eating in the Basque Country goes beyond nourishment and is understood as a true expression of art and identity.

5.00Ibeth was wonderful. The places she took us to, the explanation of the restaurants, the history of the area were all so wonderfully done by her. But mostly, the obvious love she has for the area and food showed every minute we were with her.

5.00We try and do a food tour in every city but this one has excelled ! So easy to be confused as to where to hit first without a guide so this tour was excellent. Andre effortlessly guided us to 5 bars reserved tables for pintxos and matched with cider and exceptional local Basque wines . We almost had a private tour as only one other couple so fabulous to chat. Each pintxos has a history and were thoughtfully prepared to highlight the product - local cheese / ham / octopus/ fish/ anchovies , we had the best of it all. Andrea explained each region and their specialty so we learnt so much !! Thanks ao much Andrea we loved the tour and the company as well !

4.00Ibeth was an excellent guide. Very informative, good English and above all FUN. Selection of five bars, some worth a second visit — so we found a few needles in a large haystack.
Wonderful for beginners in the world of pintxos.

5.00We took a food and wine tour in San Sebastian. Ibeth was our tour guide. She was awesome. Her knowledge of San Sebastian was great. She was also very accommodating We would love having here as a guide on another tour in San Sebastian. If you can request her you should do so.
This tour was incredibly fun!

5.00We had a great tour guide (Victor). He was very funny, which we both really enjoyed. Then he shared interesting details about the food and drinks, as well as about the city itself. The selection of restaurants was very good, so we really had very delicious food and drinks. I myself am a wheelchair user, and this tour was supposed to be wheelchair accessible. I have had different experiences with such tours, but I must really say that this one was wheelchair accessible! Compliments, as others have not managed to make the entire tour feasible for me without problems/without outside assistance.
